Academic Freedom
On 25 October 2011, the AUCC announced a new Statement on Academic Freedom which is expected to become part of AUCC’s criteria for membership.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or freedom:
“You know lots of criticism is written by characters who are very academic and think it is a sign you are worthless if you make jokes or kid or even clown. I wouldn’t kid Our Lord if he was on the cross. But I would attempt a joke with him if I ran into him chasing the money changers out of the temple.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but licence.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
